Golden tickets

At Ilam Orthodontics, we have been blessed to do what we love every single day, and it is a gift itself that we want to share more freely. Each year, we give away 7 golden tickets to Community Dental Clinics in Canterbury. These golden tickets entitle 7 patients in real need to a course of free comprehensive orthodontic treatment. We believe that a smile is not expensive...it is priceless.

We want our patients to be properly protected from sports-related injuries to the teeth, mouth and face. This is why Ilam Orthodontics are pleased to provide high-quality mouthguards to our patients, free of charge. For any contact sport, protect your child’s precious smile with a mouthguard.
